Christine, as Jonathon intimates, support for e g, CJK languages, is not a word-processor , but an OS issue. You don't provide details on which operative system you employ, but I presume it's a Windows variation. If you're using XP there is no difficulty ; proceed as follow :
1. Open your Control Panel. 2. Click «Date, time, language and national settings» (here I'm translating from the Swedish, so the terms used on your machine may differ slightly). 3. Click «Add other languages». 4. Open the «Language» tab. 5. Check the box entitled «Install files for East Asian languages» (if you need them, also check the box «Install files for languages with complicated orthographies and languages written from right to left (including Thai)). 6. Click OK. 7. Click «Add other languages» and open the language tab again. 8. In the window that then opens, click on the «Add» button, proceed to and highlight the language - e g, simplified Chinese - you wish to add in the box to the left, and click the add button again. You have just added a language ! 9. Repeat this procedure as often as you need, once for each language you wish to add. 10. Close the window by clicking OK button at the bottom. In Vista, however, this procedure can be followed to a successful conclusion only in the Enterprise and Ultimate versions. I have been unsuccessful in installing other languages than the default languages (US English and Swedish) in my own Business version of Vista. If you are using a Linux version, like Jonathon I recommend installing SCIM, which is the best input editor I have yet seen. Works extremely well in, e g, Ubuntu. If neither of the above work for you, you can use the following web-based (nothing to download to your computer) input editor for Chinese (pinyin) : http://drliew.net/webime/py21000.html. The repertoire of glyphs is limited to 21000, but that goes a long way. Try it and see !... Henri 2007/7/5, jonathon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
